[Incidence and characteristics of bronchial asthma in a selected region in the Slovak Republic].

In a selected area comprising five districts with a population of 744,762 the authors analyzed a group of 2168 cases of confirmed bronchial asthma. The number of women predominated (61.10%). The highest frequency of asthma was in the age group between 35 and 44 years. As to the type, the mixed type of asthma predominated (61%). Impaired pulmonary function was recorded in 46% of the patients. The condition was found most frequently in workers (40.5%). 62% of the investigated group of patients was treated with Intal, Zaditen, Berotec or a combination of these drugs.

[The present status of tuberculosis in the Slovak Republic].

In 1988 the incidence of newly detected cases of TB in the Slovak Republic was 31.6/100,000 population. As compared with 1987, a decline of the disease by 9.8% was recorded. Its incidence in the SR shifts to higher age groups. The prevalence of active tuberculosis reached in 1988 34.4 and the mortality 0.4/100,000 population. Despite these relatively favourable indicators, TB remains in the SR a public health issue which will require also in future systematic attention and care.

Some qualitative changes of indicators of the epidemiological position as regards tuberculosis in Czechoslovakia and their perspectives.

The application of comprehensive provisions in TB control in Czechoslovakia led to a marked decline of its quantitative and qualitative epidemiological indicators. The incidence of TB declined from 191.1 in 1951 to 46.3 in 1978 per 100 000 population. The number of newly detected cases of TB in child groups declined between 1958 and 1978 from 78.2 to 5.5 per 100 000 children. The number of cases of tuberculous meningitis declined during this period in the entire population from 97 to 5 cases. There was a markes shift of newly detected cases into higher age groups. The prevalence of bacillary TB decline from 211.1 in 1956 to 39.0 in 1977 per 100 000 population. According to mathematical and statistical calculations the incidence of TB will preserve also in future its declining trend whereby the values at the turn of the century will be at the borderline of the lower half of the value recorded at present.
